It looks likely based on the environmental studies, but we don't know until we know. IIRC, H1N1 petered out in June. That would (hopefully) give us five months to figure out what to do in case this becomes seasonal. It also lends credence to Redfield’s comments that a second wave in the fall/winter could be even more challenging, considering we'll receive the full blunt of the season.. But yes, a seasonal lull (hopefully) will give us time to prepare, trace, test and get our all around **** together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Since the second wave could be much worse than the first according to the experts, I assume there be no way we can have any open schools or sports going on this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again per the CDC 28 coronavirus deaths nationwide 24 years of age and younger thru April 18.............so no there won't be school or sports this fall. Higher risk of death by choking on a grape or hot dog. There will be exponentially more deaths in that age bracket from suicides, alcohol and drugs moving forward.

With the flu and corona at the same time, we'll need to flatten the curve regardless of the level of preparedness. We can save so many lives by doing this all again next fall. Big sporting events will be unthinkable. And if anyone doesnt get the flu vaccine next fall they will have blood on their hands for contributing to grandmas death.

Believe me, that is the next big thing that will be touted out of this. We have already heard that the environment is that much cleaner because everybody is inside. No doubt someone will see that as an opportunity to restrict travel in the future, even with a devastated economy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if anyone doesnt get the flu vaccine next fall they will have blood on their hands for contributing to grandmas death. https://www.livescience.com/covid-19-second-wave-flu-season.html The course of action taken to ‘flatten the curve’ is largely predicated on prior preparedness. Had testing and tracing been widely available and continuously implemented from the get-go, I suspect the methods of flattening the curve would be different in many parts of this country. With that in mind, hopefully we reach a point whereby schools can open with regular and continual testing of kids. Agreed on big sporting events. Without a cure, I can’t envision mass gatherings. But I see no reason sporting leagues couldn't continue without fans in attendance. Soccer is already opening in Germany that way. Just my opinion of course.

dynato Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Some additional good news, Italy's recovered patient count has finally passed the amount of new cases. They have been in a strict lock down since March 9th. They plan to open manufacturing and some other industries May 4th, while restaurants and other venues will be assessed Mid May. https://www.newsweek.com/coronavirus-latest-update-italy-daily-recoveries-pass-new-cases-1499948 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodak78 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 An interview with Alex Berenson. Alex Berenson: I don't know why that is. There are very good epidemiologists now speaking out. On the other side, most notably a Swedish epidemiologist who ran Sweden's public health department for a number of years and thinks the lockdowns are a huge mistake. He actually gave a very good interview a couple of days ago where he...talked about this in detail.....When people take a public position that causes massive, massive, massive economic and societal disruption, it's going to be hard to get them to acknowledge that position was wrong or even that even that it can be changed right now in the light of new data. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/brit-humes-interview-with-ex-nyt-reporter-alex-berenson-read-the-transcript Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIOUXFAN97 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 if you were a business person looking to open a business of some sort I really hope they look at ND, SD, and Nebraska as potential sites to open/build bc our govenors didn't shut down entirely.

Popular Post UND1983 Posted April 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2020 Berenson is one of the few "national media" who aren't completely accepting everything that is being implemented. The rest of the blue checkmark sheep just parrot each other every day. Including sports writers who apparently are 99.9999% left-leaning. Which is how we have arrived where we are today - peer-pressure and paranoia frenzy via the power of the pen. Try to present a contrarian view and you are attacked by the blue checkmark loser brigade. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kab Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 The remarks trump made were stupid but any normal person would know not to do that uv lights are in use on ceilings in buildings with updraft fans and do kill virus from what I understand, not aimed at people is it the UV light that is used for SAD?

yzerman19 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 It amazes me how obtuse people are. An analogy...hmmmm, let’s take it literally. If UV light kills it on surfaces, maybe it can be directed into the body like radiation for cancer treatment...and if disinfectant kills it on surfaces, is there a tolerable human version akin to some chemotherapy....turn the docs loose... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one hand, it is amazing that people would be dumb enough to actually inject disinfectants of any sort into themselves and need to be told not to do it. On the other hand, it is equally amazing the President would literally ponder a comment like that outloud during a press briefing and suggest it is something the medical community might want to look into: "I see that the disinfectant knocks it out in a minute, is there a way we can do something like that, an injection inside, almost a cleaning, because you see it gets inside the lungs, and it does a tremendous number of… are you going to test that … you're going to have to use medical doctors, but it sounds interesting." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
